Today was my last day of med school. 4 years gone in the blink of an eye! I scrubbed 212 neurosurgical cases, served as President of HUCM’s AANS chapter, published multiple papers and made junior AOA. Wouldn’t trade my experience for anything!

Tamir Rice would be 18 today. He would be a young, black man, a high school graduate, a college freshman...on a journey to success. He was robbed of that on this day 6 years ago. Prayers for his family. The fight to end systemic racism continues

Their retaliation shows just how powerful and meaningful the Black vote is. They can feel their grip loosening. Time to double down on them in 2022! 🔨
I was proud to sign S.B. 202 to ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair, and accessible. I appreciate the hard work of members of the General Assembly to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.
